PSG are ahead of Manchester United in the race for AC Milan defender Leonardo Bonucci.

Gazzetta dello Sport says the Italy international could leave AC Milan just a year after his move from Juventus, with €40m likely enough to prize the centre-back away from the San Siro.

Bonucci's agent Alessandro Lucci is in Paris to thrash out terms with PSG, who could reunite Gianluigi Buffon with his compatriot.

Jose Mourinho was reportedly keen on the player with his centre-backs a problem position.

Milan's financial troubles could mean a quick sale due to Bonucci's €10m per season wages, meaning United will have to act quick to reemerge in the race for his signature.
